Washington: US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were briefly evacuated from their beach house on Rehoboth Beach in the state of Delaware after a small plane entered the restricted airspace nearby. “A small private plane entered restricted airspace, all indications are by mistake, and precautionary measures were taken,” Xinhua news agency quoted a White House official as saying to reporters late Saturday. “There was no threat to the President or his family.”
They “are now back at their residence”, the official added. A spokesperson for the US Secret Service said on Saturday afternoon that “a privately owned aircraft entered the restricted airspace over Rehoboth Delaware after mistakenly entering a secured area” shortly before 1 p.m.
